Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a magmasaur? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a magmasaur.
If you’re based in the Snow biome, it’ll take anywhere from 16-20 ac’s to incubate the egg. Hope that helps some of the boys out
To tame these little guys, you need to steal a egg from them, the best place to get the egg is in Fjordur.
The easiest way is to use Desmodus with stamina build, you can be invisible with it (that means that others dino can’t attack you while you’re invisible). Land next to a egg and grab it asap, you just need to return to your Desmodus and fly away.
CAUTION!!!!! You can encounter Wyverns, so try doing this in the night (Desmodus ability its better during the night)
Using the rock drakes cloak ability allows you to get right on top of eggs without drawing aggro.
When you dont have Ambergris, but still raising one. Use a Snowowl to heal the baby!
An easier way of obtaining Magmasaur eggs is to level up a Gigantopithiscus in the health and speed catagories, then bolt into the mountain, jumping over the bugs. Once you get to the magmasaur ‘den’ use a whip to gather a few eggs then get outta there
How do u hatch them torches don’t work kinda new to ark
If your stealing a magmasaur egg use a desmodus to turn invisible
I found out the adults are easy to tranq. While they sleep the eggs are easy to get
Use a desmodus’s Invis to go in the cave and steal an egg. I got a 140 doing this!
If you whant some eggs just make you invisible with a shadowman an take the eggs
To feed they eat sulfur as baby's.
If you are trying to grab an egg on foot. A parachute and a grapple hook work pretty good
I just went in grab the egg go out as quickly as possible.
My dad came up with a fool proof strat, using a high level procoptodon, you can circle around the lava and aggro every magmasaur, but you are much faster, so do a circle and while they’re on the other side, hop off and grab the eggs, get back on and hop around, before you know it, you have every egg in cave
Ambergris last a lot longer in tek troughs.
Don't have tek? No problem. Just transfer your character with the ambergris in your inventory. Before you spawn, quit and return to main menu. Then re-download your character next to your troughs and your ambergris spoil timer is reset. 👍🏽
If you have plan on raising babies, (basically getting them) have a way to get like 15-20 stacks of sulfur to be safe, and for future magmas, also it takes DAYS to grow up, like 3 days no joke. It wants imprint every 8 hours, I highly recommend leaving them overnight otherwise it will take a week or something crazy, it’s hard to get full imprint so don’t expect it. When they are tamed they are metal harvesters, obsidian, stone, crystal, and they can just walk through lava. Also dealing nice damage. If they die, cry.
On lost island they spawn in 2 caves north of the volcano, one is at the beginning of a lava stream and the other has 2 entrances on ground level and doesnt have lava coming out of the entrance. Basically just get in and get out quick as they can one shot you off your tame if hit directly. The eggs need access to the hottest temperatures in ark for incubation so you will need a large amount of torches to hatch. Requires sulfer on lost island and ambergris on gen 2, abilities include smelting on the go and a spit attack that can be charged into a massive fireball that consumes 1 metal ingot, a AOE attack around the creature, or just simply can be held at 100% charge to burn everything around it. Will keep you warm in cold biomes but looses access to most of its abilities when in water or cold.
Ok, so after you get yourself one of these eggs from the volcano and get back home, you need to heat it up so that it hatches, then as it’s maturing it will want to eat Ambergris, then as adults they will eat meat and rocks.
There is a Nest, that is far away from the others in a different canyon. If you hang with a Bloodstalker on the ceiling of the Cave . Now you can easily kill all Magmasaurs with Compoundbow, Pumpgun or Fabricatedsniper and grab an Egg. With more players you can also try to control the main Cave.
They only eat embergriss when baby but if you force feed to adults they regain lots of health and it has no cool down (you can only get ambergriss in the lunar biome from
the rocks the glow green)
